Bottling It Up

Has anyone ever bottled up their feelings and ignored the fact that what they want to happen can't happen at all? I had a few friends that still teach me things that I need to learn about life and high school. Most of them will become seniors this year so, after the year is done I'll be by myself....kinda like every other day. Some of the things that I normally do is softball, ROTC, and school. However, things aren't really going smoothly. I never cried before over the little things but, it seems like all the smallest things are now becoming the bigger picture. Family, friends, and life itself, are knocking me over like a bowling ball and pins. If it's one thing that I'm glad my friends taught me, it's bottling up your feelings and locking them away in a deep, dark area, where even you are afraid to go. When you let these problems free, then you're opening up a world where chaos and madness are roaming freely. I feel safe now that I can lock them away, but.......I feel like their trying get out. Each and everyday, they hit me without a single trace. Should I keep them locked away, or should I set them free?
